Night Mare (Xanth #6)
by
by

It's been a minute since I read a Xanth adventure! (over a decade)
Point #1: It's not about the destination or how the big secret was something you knew all along; it's about the journey.
Point #2: It is DEFINITELY about keeping in mind that this was the early 80's, when it was much more common to be openly offensive about matters of gender roles and sex-stereotyped identity.
Point #3: There may not be a more famous writer of dad joke-infused fiction than Piers "Xanth-ony"!
Point #4: If you think that women are fickle, weak creatures here mainly to drive men to distraction and that men have...."masculine ways", you will just love this.
I did laugh out loud a couple times, derisively (see point #2).

Been trying to get the series to screen for years and he wants control of the script I think. It's also one that if they put clothing on the centaurs
That's not a big deal. For example, he's an unusal author to say the least the fact he's got 200 books or so plus a book called the magic fart makes me laugh. That one though is not for kids
